Huawei has recently revealed what new chip advancements it will make in the coming years, and these wins will significantly impact Nvidia’s AI market in China. The US tech maker is pouring effort into entering one of its important sales areas, but looks like it won’t be easy this time.
Many analysts predicted the future landscape of the AI market in China, where Huawei is expected to affect Nvidia’s presence with its self-developed chip tech solutions.
The company has announced to go for the Tau (τ) Scaling Law instead of the years-long Moore’s Law for semiconductor development. It will adopt the all-new LogicFolding architecture that can make its transistor density equivalent to 1.4 nanometers.
By 2031, the Chinese tech giant will achieve major milestones in the mobile and AI chipset industry using its innovative technologies. This will not only help Huawei to bridge the gap with leading global rivals but also contribute to China’s tech growth.

Since the US chip export controls restricted Huawei and China from accessing cutting-edge technologies, the company is now ready to address this challenge with its solutions.
He Tingbo, the President of Huawei Semiconductor Business Group Unit said that the firm no longer necessarily requires the latest EUV tools to achieve advanced nodes.
Analysts Prediction:
According to some analysts, these achievements will help Huawei to further weaken Nvidia’s grip in the Chinese AI market. Garg Ng, the senior economist at Natixis Corporate and Investment Bank, said:
“The US will have less leverage over export control as China becomes more self-sufficient. Although the new Tau Scaling Law still needs to be tested in practice.”
On the other hand, a Chinese media outlet named People’s Daily inked – “Instead of getting stuck in a rut, why not try a different approach?” James Lambert, head of Asia consulting at Oxford Economics mentioned:
“Developments like this many have viewed as evidence that Chinese firms are having success in investing heavily in alternative domestic AI and semiconductor ecosystems, rather than remaining dependent on Western technology pathways.”
Huawei’s planned chip advancements are being considered the “another DeepSeek innovation” moment. Meanwhile, Nvidia, which has already lost half of its market share in China, now faces a reality where domestic chip performance has nearly closed the gap with the H200.
